It is a pleasure to send you this invitation on behalf of my
team at Talisman Centre. My name is Cari Din, I am the current Sport
Director. I was a synchronized swim coach and athlete who grew up in
TC. Along with my teammates, I won an Olympic medal in 1996 . I am

We are scheduling two
information meetings this fall, one later in the evening and one in the

sport training and our dual
mandate. I am extremely proud of our
ability to balance this mandate and bring the Canadian Sport for Life and LTAD
2.0 pathway to life in our unique facility each day.
Please accept this email as a formal invitation to attend
ONE of our scheduled meetings. We will be asking partners who do not
attend one of the meetings to pay a fee for what will be a free educational
session to attendees.

Dive Calgary's Caeli McKay Selected by Diving Plongeon Canada for Training Opportunity in Montreal
Caeli McKay, who
has been training at Talisman Centre since the age of 5, is relocating to
Montreal for the next three months. This will provide her with an
exceptional experience to train alongside Roseline Filion and Meaghan Benfeito
out of the National Training Centre and travel with the Senior team as they
prepare for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio.
As a current
member of the Senior National Team training, Caeli has been training under
the coaching guidance of Charlie Tu while she finishes grade 11. This is
an amazing accomplishment for Caeli to be selected by Diving Plongeon Canada to
train in Montreal alongside Canada’s best divers and Rio Olympians.
Please join Talisman Centre in wishing her well as she continues to progress along the podium pathway.

Canada's Sr. Men's National Water Polo Team
Let’s Celebrate & Support Canada’s
Sr. Men’s National Water Polo Team as they compete in Italy for a change to
represent Canada at the Olympic Games in Rio!
As the home to the National Training Centre for
Canada’s Sr. Men’s National Water Polo Team, Talisman Centre is excited to help
support the team as they gear up for a major international competition in Italy
from April 3-10, 2016. This event is the Olympic Qualifier where they
will compete against other international teams, mostly European teams to obtain
1 of 3 remaining positions at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

To support the training needs of the National Team
this will be a greater team effort from March 2- 17, 2016, before they depart
for a training camp in Greece. For part of this time, their new Head
Coach, Giuseppe Porzio “Pino”, will also be on-site with the team for the first
time since joining Water Polo Canada earlier this year.
About Pino from Water Polo Canada – “Either as a player or as coach, Giuseppe Porzio has an undeniable and
enviable track record, having earned over forty titles at major water polo
events since the 1980’s. His long list of accomplishments includes an Olympic
gold medal (Barcelona 1992) and numerous podium results at World Cup, European
Championships, FINA World Championships, Mediterranean Games, Champions League,
European Super Cup, Adriatic League and Italian Championships”.
To support the men’s team our programs and public
are altering their regular spaces to allow the National Team to practice at the
regulated FINA International pool set up of 8 lanes at 30m. Training at
anything other than 30m leading up to a major competition can cause athletes to
not be as effective at their desired outcomes during the competition. As
a result:
·
On Wednesday March 2, 9, 16 Talisman
Centre programs will be running at 17m during these evenings;
·
Public will maintain 100m of pool space
in the format of reduced lane length in the Dive Tank for 1 hour.
We thank everyone for their support over the 2.5
week period as the guys train hard to take on the world in Italy.

Caeli McKay - Fifth in the 3m Springboard Final at the FINA Diving Grand Prix
CALGARY'S CAELI MCKAY A PROMISING FIFTH AGAINST EXPERIENCED
MADRID GRAND PRIX FIELD IN HER FIRST SENIOR INTERNATIONAL
FINAL
Four
young Canadian divers getting valuable international exposure this weekend
Madrid, January 15, 2016 – Canada's Caeli McKay (Calgary,
AB), by far the youngest woman in the 3m springboard final at the FINA Diving
Grand Prix on Friday, placed fifth in her first senior international final on
Friday.
The 16-year-old, who was the
junior of each of the other five finalists by at least a half-decade, totalled
278.10 points. McKay, who trains under the tutelage of coach Charlie Tu
at Dive Calgary, had an eighth-place finish in 3m at Madrid last season.
Competing on the senior level
is a big stepping stone for McKay, who earned a silver medal in 3m to combine
with Molly Carlson (Thunder Bay, ON) for a 1-2 finish in October at the
Pan Am Junior Championships in Matanzas, Cuba in October.
“We
are impressed to see that Caeli remained solid through all three rounds today,”
said Mitch Geller, Chief Technical Officer, Diving Plongeon Canada. “The
pressure of competing in her first senior international final obviously didn’t
faze her.”
McKay's showing in the final
built off a respectable showing in the semi-final, where she tallied 269.80
points to qualify. She earned 270.9 points during the preliminary round.
“She didn’t really miss a
single dive and we know for her to compete on a higher level, it is just a
matter of improving her precision, and her entries,” Geller added.
“We have always known that she
is really tough competitor and her performance today validates our impression
of her.”
Zhihuan Xu of China won the gold on her
final dive, totalling 338.25 points to surmount compatriot Han Wang, who
earned the silver medal with 336.60. Uschi Freitag of Holland earned the
bronze with 320.00 and her teammate Inge Jansen was fourth with 301.80.
Eighteen-year-old Ethan
Pitman (Edmonton, AB) reached the semi-final in men's 10m platform,
finishing seventh with 289.05 points. Pitman was in contention to make the
final until his second-last dive, a back 3½ somersault where he scored 24.75,
went poorly. The back 3½ was his strongest dive in the morning preliminaries,
where Pitman scored 69.30 points out of his total of 367.70 over six dives.
Canada has two more Junior
Elite National Team members competing in Madrid on Saturday. Peter Thach-Mai
(Montreal, QC) will make his Grand Prix debut in men's 3m. Olivia
Chamandy (Montreal, QC) is competing in women's 10m where the promising
15-year-old will be looking for her first career top-10 placing. Chamandy
placed 11th in 10m at the Bolzano Grand Prix in July.
